Supply chain professionals, you’re now on the main stage.
“If you want to be resilient you are going to have to out-think, out-learn and out-hustle.
You are in a storm, throw out your meeting schedule and move to a command centre.
Supply chain professionals, you are now on the main stage. You need to find your inner creativity.
Technology isn’t a silver bullet but combined with some creative people it sure can help.
Organisations that can harness the best from their people and technologies will succeed.
You need to be aggressive with adopting new technologies and experimenting your way to success.”
Keynote Peter Williams, Chief Edge Officer, Centre for the Edge at Deloitte Australia
The impact of e-commerce is end-to-end
“E-commerce has boomed in Australia, transforming the retail sector and putting pressure on supply chain. This has driven end-to-end change for retailers, from using mirco-fulfillment to drive operational and delivery efficiencies, to creating experiential bricks and mortar retail spaces to attract and retain customers.”
Kate Bailey, Director, CBRE | Research
There are more people in modern slavery today than at any time in human history
“We need to take a closer look at our supply chains to ensure human rights are being respected. We need to make better decisions about what we procure. We need to know how to speak up if we see exploitation or something that concerns us. Transparency, reporting and collaboration are all increasing; it's time to take a stand."
Robin Mellon, CEO, Better Sydney
Sustainable delivery can lead the way to protect the planet
“We saw how shipping providers, delivery networks, e-commerce businesses and consumers quickly adapted to the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. That same sense of urgency, collaboration and innovation can help us take stronger climate change action and build systems that serve the needs of both the people and the planet.
“Sustainability in the supply chain and delivery space is now mission critical. By working towards zero-carbon operations through carbon offsetting programs and investing in the latest green shipping technology, we can not only protect and repair our planet, but we can lead the way for other high polluting industries to follow suit.”
Laura Hill, Managing Director Australia, Sendle
